Ranking NFC North rooms: Wide Receiver

Where do the Chicago Bears wide receivers rank amongst the NFC North?

The NFC North is loaded with big-name wide receivers. However, instead of ranking just the individual players, how do the rooms rank? This means looking beyond the top dogs and seeing the depth and whole group of receivers.

The Chicago Bears have not fared well as we ranked the quarterback and running backs rooms earlier. Do they look better when judging the best wide receivers?

4. Minnesota Vikings

Adam Thielen, Justin Jefferson, Olabisi Johnson, Chad Bebee, Tajae Sharpe

You know the group is impressive when a wide receiver room featuring Adam Thielen ranks fourth.  Still, we all know that with Thielen is the loss of Stefon Diggs, that has to be taken into account. Diggs took a lot of coverage away as an outside receiver for Thielen, who dominated the slot.

Justin Jefferson is a nice rookie receiver, but he also dominated the slot at LSU. Whether it be Thielen or Jefferson, someone is going to have to take a huge leap forward for the Vikings to remain the status quo. Beyond that, Johnson, Bebee, and Sharpe have all excelled in the slot more than the outside.

There is no denying Thielens talent, but every team in the NFC North has an elite top receiver. For Thielen, he is seeing the most change, and he has the worst depth around him. A great rookie season from Jefferson can change that, but the Vikings currently rank fourth.
